A THIRD OF ALL FOOD GROWN WORLDWIDE GOES TO WASTE. WE’VE TAKEN THAT THIRD AND TURNED IT INTO A PINT
At Limonar de Santomera, we’ve been tackling a problem that affects both farmers and the environment: food waste. In the 2023/24 season, 400,000 tonnes of lemons were thrown away in Spain alone. Many farmers have to discard a large part of their harvest because some lemons don’t meet the cosmetic standards required for the fresh market sector.
Someone had to do something – so we made beer.
Clarica was born out of a problem that affects both farmers and the environment. It’s our way of speaking directly to the end consumer. Of telling them there’s another way of doing things. That there are lemons with small scars that deserve a second chance. That sustainability isn’t just a word in a report – it’s a daily mindset. And at Limonar de Santomera, we’re no longer willing to waste a single lemon.

WE’VE BEEN OVER 40 YEARS PICKING OUT THE PRETTIEST LEMONS. THE REST ARE THROWN. INTO A YAKKA BEER TANK, TO BE PRECISE
We couldn’t have made this beer without the collaboration of Yakka, a craft brewery born in the heart of the countryside in Murcia – just like us.
Thanks to their expertise, skilled hands and a shared vision of how the world should be, we’ve created a truly special craft beer. A collaboration that highlights the importance of the origin and the impact of the choices we make every day.
WE’RE A COOPERATIVE FROM MURCIA SPECIALISING IN FRESH, TRACEABLE, ORGANIC LEMONS. AND OVERLOOKED ONES. YEP, WE SPECIALISE IN THOSE TOO
Since 1982, at Limonar de Santomera, lemons have been much more than just a fruit for us. Now we want to share with the world what lemons have given us: a better life.
